At SmarterLEGAL, we handle minor guardianship, adult guardianship, and adoption cases.
Guardianship is a legal relationship between a competent adult and a person who cannot take care of his or her own affairs ("ward"). Adults and children both may require guardians. Most people are familiar with minor (child) guardianship; however, adult guardianships are becoming more and more frequent as the population ages.
A guardian for an adult may be authorized to make health care and other decisions for the ward. In some jurisdictions a conservatorship is required to make financial decisions. There are different types of guardianships, each with different decision making capabilities. Click here for more information about adult guardianship in Illinois.
